Yup, it is OK to take what the defense gives you. Our TE group is more than capable of making plays and they have been targeted just 18 times in 5 games or 14.1% of the total targets for this offense. 5th worst in the league. https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/reports/targets-distribution/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Sooo....do we think Kwesi makes any all-in moves with the bye week coming up? Upgrade the RB2 position? Not really sure where to put this question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure where to put this question. if there is any position on offense that we'd need to upgrade, it is RG position. I still think its extremely unlikely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be an upgrade in the run game, but he wont' be a turnstile either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfja_fkdldjs Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Risner wasn't re-signed for a long time, had a chance to fight for a position and never once took first team snaps in the offseason. I highly doubt the Vikings see him the way fans see him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so weird, because Ingram’s mostly fine but has some plays that aren’t just poor plays, they are like “has this guy ever played before?” bad. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am misremembering everything, but I thought I remember the off season going like this. The team decides to start Brandel. Fans are skeptical as he has been a career back up for us. Risner sits in free agency, even made some tweets or something about not getting offers or something. Eventually, he signs on and the team mentions he will actually compete for either guard position. Never gets first team snaps. Gets injured. Whether he should start or not, I donno. I'm not going to pretend I've analyzed guard play lol. But it just doesn't seem to me like the Vikings view Risner the same way fans do (because I've seen the sentiment of Risner starting in many places). Maybe things have changed throughout this season, but it isn't like Ingram's play is a surprise. So I'm doubtful of this idea that Vikings will just straight up replace Ingram with a guy they almost didn't sign and is coming back from injury. Again, maybe I'm misremembering, so ignore me if I'm wrong, but when people talk about Risner/Ingram it feels more like a "ANYONE BUT THIS GUY, PLEASE" when it just doesn't seem like it's in the cards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfja_fkdldjs Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I think the only trade that'd make sense was some RB buried in the depth chart for a 5th, ideally a 7th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your timeline is right, but he was injured mid July. The competition just never really happened. You are right that he was signed to be a backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
